[This is the first time I have tried my hand at rhyming.I wrote this as a narrative for a friend's 2 minute film.Hope it works out for him.]
What a haste does the city make
Working and earning is what you take
To be a part of this metropolitan state?
Everything works at a rapid rate
And problems become inordinate
The crowd, the pollution, the corruption can all make one suffocate
But the demanding pace is not all it takes
To mark one’s fate
In this metropolitan state.
In the hustle-bustle of the life that can tire
Is seen a clear evidence of secret desire
Love can smother any fire;
Melt mountains higher
These were words of some great seer(sire)
But this famous city embarks love as a free desire.
Love is seen in nature here
Tree barks speak of lovers’ love
Made undying by inscriptions high and low.
An imprint of a heart with poetic lines for the beloved
Adorn rocks ,bricks and pillars alike.
Love is in the air some said,
It might be so all over the world
However this city great
Displays love on everything solid
Over flooded transports, a moving proof of a lover’s love
Messages etched on buses and trains :a moving display of the lover’s love
Personal space the city suggests
With a moonlit sea view or corner benches
A high surged tide subsides
To bring in view another tale
Of love’s new decree
For you and me to see
To see and to remember that love has to be
To make this city on the sea
A lovely place to be.

Ur efforts have shaped out well in the form of this poem.
u've used something that we all see atleast 10 times a day, but never care to remember.. Never cared to discuss. "love messages" .. Good work... Keep it up. Try and make this even better
love the imagism in the poem..seems to seep in very well..very naturalistic in tone though very precise in materialistic thoughts...gives nice feelings abt love n way u used the atmosphere in the poem is excellent....:):):)...good one...:)
